REPLICA OF THE FAMOUS DINNIE STONES Train for the most famous Strongman lifting stones in the world Outstanding quality with laser cut components Blacksmith hand-shaped handles with easy split-pin removal for loading Handles and loading pin included for the most realistic and accurate feel The Dinnie Stones are the most famous of the Scottish Stones of Strength or Testing Stones and are located at Potarch in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. There are two stones with a combined weight of 332.49 kg (733 lb), the larger stone weighing 188.02 kg (414 lb 8 oz) and the smaller stone weighing 144.47 kg (318 lb 8 oz). They were reportedly selected in the 1830's as counterweights for use in maintaining the Potarch Bridge. They were made famous by Scottish Strongman Donald Dinnie, who reportedly carried the stones barehanded across the width of the Potarch Bridge, a distance of 205 1⁄2 in (17 ft 1 1⁄2 in; 5.22 m) in 1860. The current world record for distance is held by Cerberus Athlete Laurence Shahlaei (22ft 4in). They are a real challenge. It is not just the fact that lifting 332kg is a massive lift but they have very uniquely shaped handles which requires a very strong grip, impeccable technique and a lot of pain management.
